Proverbs 25:5

5 Take away the 1wicked before the king, And his 2throne will be established in righteousness.

Proverbs 25:5 In-Context

3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable .
4 Take away the dross from the silver, And there comes out a vessel for the smith;
5 Take away the wicked before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not claim honor in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the place of great men;
7 For it is better that it be said to you, "Come up here," Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen.
